Care Package Program Opportunities

*Monetary donation required for both programs

Christmas in July:

Liberty USO is looking for 10 ambassador organizations/companies to acquire items for 100 care packages from each group. We also ask for a minimum donation of $6 per care package to offset supplies, shipping, printing and other costs of the program. Liberty USO will provide boxes, Tyvek envelopes, labels and donor cards. Some of the items that your group may be asked to collect are puzzle books, candy, trail mix, beef jerky and few more goodies. You will coordinate your own packaging date and we will coordinate a pick-up/drop off with military presence (based upon availability)

Operation That’s My Dress

USO of Pennsylvania and Southern NJ will provide 1,000 free dresses and gowns to female service members, spouses and military children. In addition, there will be free make-up and jewelry, as well as make-up and hairstylists offering demonstrations. This is an opportunity to save a lot of money and enjoy a day of pampering.

United Through Reading:

In 2014 over 600 DVD recordings were made of service members reading a special book for their child to have while they were away on deployment. The families of these service members received both the book and the recording shortly after their loved one left to go overseas.
